Sometimes life is just good. Thanks to my great friend Shana, Cohen and I got blessed with tickets to see Dinosaur Jr at Terminal five on Friday night. To see this epic band with their original lineup of J Mascis, Lou Barlow and Murph playing together is almost in the same category as seeing Kurt Cobain rise from the dead for a Nirvana show. I said almost. Seriously though, sold out show, it coulda been ‘89 they sounded so good, amazing.

“Just Like Heaven” Perhaps rock’s greatest cover.

Sorry to overuse the Biggie references today but I never thought that hip hop would take it this far: Lil Wayne has a blog on ESPN. And you know what, it’s pretty good. Not that that is a surprise, what does Weezy do that isn’t good? I could honestly care less about blogs on ESPN but to read the Lollipop man deadpan about his love of the Green Bay Packers is, for some resaon, quite entertaining to me.
Check it out here.

Looks like they are planning to follow the “From ashy to classy” story arc. It will be interesting to see if this is any good. I just hope Ms. Wallace got paid. The only Biggie retrospective I need is the March 9 mixtape by J Period and G Brown!

Then on Friday two of my favorite bands and people, Santogold and Trouble Andrew kicked of their 16 city North American Goldrush Tour with a show at Irving Plaza. The shit was unbelievable with Santi playing almost her entire album as well as a bunch of joints from Top Ranking including Guns of Brooklyn, Lights Out, Get it Up, and Icarus. It was easily one of the dopest shows of the year. Here’s how it went down:

Trouble Gang bang!
